Today’s threat detection and response tools are powerful, but often complex.
According to Gartner®, “Co-managed security monitoring services aid cybersecurity leaders in the operation, configuration and maintenance of these products with lower SOC staffing overhead”. While there are baseline offerings that a co-managed security services provider should provide, Gartner highlights these key additional capabilities to watch for:
- Real-time threat monitoring either 24/7, 8/7 8/5 or after normal business hours and weekends
- Junior-level analyst triage and investigations of security issues from the misconfiguration of engineering to security alert diagnostics
- Configuration of third-party applications for TDIR ecosystems that have an application marketplace
- Consultancy-based assistance with migration from legacy platforms
As co-managed security is now the preferred choice for midlevel security teams who want to retain control of their tools while scaling expertise, speed, and efficiency, it’s important to consider a provider that truly checks all your organization’s boxes. Trustwave’s Co-Managed SOC service helps organizations unlock faster outcomes by combining expert threat detection, real-time monitoring, flexible staffing models, and customized content development.
